Google Conversion Tracking - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

For a while now I've been thinking of Implementing Google Conversion tracking to one of my merchant sites. It sure as hell would make everything a lot easier.

The merchant is finally able to do this. But I wonder if I actually want Google to know this information. For me it's a hell of a lot easier. But if Google sees how much you're making on a certain keyword, won't they just increase your min cpc ?

Would love to hear your 2 cents, and like to know if anybody has placed their trust in google conversion tracking

You mean, you don't anybody is placing their trust in google like that

Or you mean you don't think they actually do that?

I hear if you wear a tin foil hat while you set up your adwords, Google won't be able to use the info in your brain.

:P

But my question isn't really that weird is it ?

Even though it will safe you a lot of time, will it come back and bite you in the ass in the end ? I've read some pretty horrifying threads about this last year

Somewhere in july 2006's quality score update.

Now I'm just wondering if after almost a year further, this is still to be the case. Or was it just a myth

It could be a real time safer, but I don't want all my good keywords to go up 50 cents cpc in a couple of months

zul200289 · 08-23-2007, 08:04 AM

nah.. i don't think they'll do that.

the google slap was change in QS algorithm. that's it.

nothing to do with conversions.

err.. i think.

So you would just recommend using the conversion tracking ?

Index Tools - IndexTools: Numbers that mean business
Mint - Mint

Search for them. These are some of the more affordable options if you do not trust Google with your conversion data.
